Oprah Winfrey sticks to my personal mantra of the higher the hair, the closer to Jesus on the cover of the September 2013 edition of O magazine.
Rocking an enormous wig that fills at least half the cover, Oprah puts Diana Ross in the shade with the biggest 'fro we've seen in a long time.
The cover was the work of Oprah's long-time stylist, Andre Walker. However he didn't actually create the wig himself; that was the work ofÂ
The Voice stylist Kim Kimble - a friend of Andre's who just so happened to have a giant wig that she'd created for a previous projecy.
The 3.5lb wig - dubbed Wild Thang - is a super-sized version of Oprah's natural hair, which is the subject of her column in the issue.
"My own hair is shorter, not quite so spherical, and a lot lighter," she says. "But that doesn't mean it never gives me grief. When it comes to hair, I'm in the same boat as most every other woman."
"The way we feel about our hair is universal: We love it when it looks great, we can't stand it when it looks not so great, and we all want it to tell the world something about us."
